Function: The .50 cal BMG round is used for anti-personnel or anti-material missions. It can penetrate 0.875” (22.2 mm) of face-hardened armor steel plate at 100 yards (91 m). It is now in the top 3 most used caliber rounds for army snipers. That is because this round brings insane accuracy to the playing field. For instance, Canadian Corporal, Rob Furlong, shot a Taliban combatant at 2,657 yards (2,430 meters) , while using the .50 cal BMG round. This round is also used in sport shooting.
